How Did Brittany Furlan and Tommy Lee Meet?

The Way Tommy Lee and Brittany Furlan Met Is Totally Bizarre, but Also Kinda Cute?

It's a tale as old as time: heavy-metal drummer follows viral social media sensation, arranges to meet her in real life, and falls in love. OK, maybe not, but that's the modern love story of 56-year-old Mötley Crüe cofounder Tommy Lee and 32-year-old former Vine star Brittany Furlan, who tied the knot on Valentine's Day this year, exactly one year after they got engaged.

This is the drummer's fourth marriage (Tommy previously married model Elaine Starchuk, actress Heather Locklear, and actress Pamela Anderson, with whom he shares two sons), but it's the first for Brittany, as well as her first fulfilling relationship. As she said in the 2018 Netflix documentary The American Meme, "I met someone who I can trust because I didn't trust anybody that I've dated before. I'd say Tommy is my first true love and I am finally safe and happy." Despite their unconventional start, you have to admit that's pretty sweet.

The pair started dating in June 2017, but according to Tommy, he followed the social media queen long before he met her and thought she was "funny and stupid and cute and beautiful." According to Brittany, she was also a fan of Tommy, explaining to Fox News, "I was a Methods of Mayhem fan and Mötley Crüe fan. I wasn't a huge fan — I didn't listen to a bunch of Mötley Crüe, but I definitely liked Methods of Mayhem and I always thought he was super attractive."

Though Tommy may be the better known of the two, Brittany isn't just known for being the most-followed female video star on Vine up until November 2015. She has also appeared in the flicks We Are Your Friends and The Unicorn, as well as in the music video for Pitbull's "Fireball." She even has a background role in the Mötley Crüe biopic The Dirt, which is credited on IMDb as "Biker Chick." In place of Vine, she uses Instagram as her primary social media outlet now, where she has 2.6 million followers and posts a combination of memes and shots of her daily life.
